Week of November 2

Good Afternoon!

Happy November!

This week we will have an out of uniform day on Friday for bringing in over 500 box tops!

This week in...

Reading:  We will be reading the reader's theater: Emerald's Eggs.  This is one of our favorite stories about sea turtles.  We will only be taking a test on our 10 new vocab words this week.  Instead of testing comprehension, we will be completing a "close read" with an extended response of an informational text article.  This is a great skill to begin with the fourth graders and will be something that they will be using during the rest of their educational career.  Most of this one will be done in class to learn the process.

Religion:  We will finish up learning about Moses and then begin chapter 4

Spelling:  Lesson 10.  Practice sheet due on Thursday, Menu due on Friday, and test Friday

4th LA:  This week we are completing the Diocesan Writing Test.  They may research their animal at home and were given websites to look at.  All the writing must be done in class.

5th LA:  Finishing up noun unit, quiz on Wednesday

4th SS:  We will continue with our region tour this week on the Northeast

5th SS:  Chapter 4 lesson 2 and 3.    We should be planning a test for next week Tuesday/Wednesday or Wednesday/Thursday
